Deputies: Stranger danger incident reported in Naples Park

COLLIER COUNTY: Collier County sheriff's deputies are warning people of a possible stranger danger incident they say happened in Naples Park.

According to deputies, an older Italian man told two kids, a 10-year-old and eight-year-old boys, to come over to his car because he had presents to give them.

"He said that he had gifts in his back seat and come get in the car because he had really cool gifts," said the mother of the 10-year-old, Toni Smith.

The kids ran away and into a home. Deputies say the suspect then followed them and pulled into the driveway.

Officials we spoke to said when mother of one of the kids came out, the man yelled something to the mother in Italian and then drove off.

"I went up to him and he started speaking Italian to me and he asked me if I'm Italiano. I told him he needed to get out of here, whatever he was doing, and I'm calling police," said Smith. "[The boys] got scared when I got scared."

The man is described as being in his 60s or 70s with grey hair and bushy eyebrows. He was also said to be wearing a black V-neck shirt and a gold chain.

Witnesses say he was driving a tan, 4-door sedan with a small Italian flag decal on the driver's side of the windshield.
